Nuclear oligomerization domains (NODS) are cytosolic pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to detect bacterial component. In this study, the molecular cloning and genomic characterization of grass carp NODI (gcNOD1) and grass carp NOD2 (gcNOD2) were reported. The complete open reading frame of gcNOD1 contains 2814 bp, encoding a 937-amino acid polypeptide. The gcNCD2 cDNA sequence encodes 982-amino acid polypeptide. Both gcNOD1 and gcNOD2 possess three conserved domains: carboxy terminal leucine rich repeat (LRR) domains, a central NOD, NBS or NACHT domain, and an amino terminal CARD domain (two in the case of NOD2). At the genomic level, gcNOD1 consists of 11 exons, with 10 intervening introns, spanning approximately 9 kb of genomic sequence. Whereas gcNOD2 has a length of approximately 5 kb with 9 intervening introns. Real time PCR analysis showed gcNOD1 and gcNOD2 were ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues. The highest transcript level of gcNOD1 was detected in brain, but in head kidney for gcNOD2. Grass carp reovirus significantly induced the expression of gcNOD1 and gcNOD2 in spleen (from days 1 to 6). However, expression profiles differed in time course response. Induction experiments with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), peptidoglycan (PGN) and polyI:C revealed the differential expression and regulation of gcNOD1 and gcNOD2 in blood, head kidney, trunk kidney and spleen. All these data suggest a potential role of NOD1 and NOD2 in fish innate immune protection to bacterial and virus infections. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
